Neurontin, eh?

I agree that we really don't know how any of these meds work--all we can do is make educated (or semi-educated) guesses.

Neurontin might be an interesting med to pursue--it clearly seems to help some people, but my understanding is that it has faired very poorly as an antidepressant/mood stabilizer in the controlled, double-blind studies. Some studies have it fairing -poorer- than placebo, which seems to mean that some people are actually made worse by it.

Perhaps worth a shot, though, especially if it might in some way be dopaminergic.
